An Introvert With An Extrovert Button!

You’re probably going to want to fight me about this, but there are times when the movie is better than the book. I finally got to see Unleashing Mr. Darcy, a modernization of Pride & Prejudice set around dogs. I don’t read other Jane Austen fan fiction (JAFF) until I’m done writing a specific book.Read more

It’s so weird to be writing a recap for September, I feel like it just began. Here’s what happened – in case you’ve missed anything! Phi Alpha Pi The audiobook is out! I’m so excited about this.

I am pleased to announce the upcoming release of the second 21st Century Austen Short Story Collection: A Little More Phi Alpha Pi!. You asked for more stories!

I think this NaNoWriMo event was the nail in my coffin… for NaNoWriMo. This post requires a little background about the monster that’s been living in my head. I’m not happy with Missing Auggie.
